Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Overview

A remastered version of Modern Warfare, entitled Modern Warfare Remastered, was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC alongside Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, only available with the purchase of either the Legacy, Digital Deluxe or Legacy Pro editions of the game (with physical versions requiring the Infinite Warfare disc inserted to access the remaster). Modern Warfare Remastered was developed by Raven Software, who developed multiplayer modes for several Call of Duty titles in the past, and executive produced by Infinity Ward. Development of the remaster began in early 2015, as a result of an online petition signed by fans of the original game. The remaster features the original single-player campaign mode, as well as 17 maps for multiplayer (10 of these maps being released at launch).

Activision had confirmed that the movement system would stay true to the original game and that the multiplayer would also have dedicated servers. The multiplayer includes the same weapons, killstreaks, perks, and game modes that were featured in the original game, in addition to modes "Kill Confirmed", " Gun Game" and "Hardpoint" (introduced in past Call of Duty installments) and new melee weapons. The multiplayer also offers a greater variety of customization options for profile personalization, character skins, and weapon camos, which can all be unlocked through experience points. Supply drops also allow players to receive the same items as experience points, but exclude weapons and attachments. News of Modern Warfare Remastered leaked on Reddit prior to its announcement. The leak revealed a screenshot of a reservation card for the online store Target that included the Legacy Edition of Infinite Warfare and the bundled remaster.

The game was officially announced at E3 2016, showing an extended trailer for its campaign, following a gameplay reveal for Infinite Warfare. After the trailer, it was revealed that PlayStation 4 users who pre-purchased (as opposed to pre-ordered) an edition of Infinite Warfare that comes with the remaster would be able to play the game's campaign 30 days earlier, as part of Sony's exclusivity deal with Activision. A gameplay video for the game's "Crew Expendable" mission was released on July 14, 2016. The iconic mission features Captain Price and his Special Air Service squadron attacking a freight ship at sea during nighttime. The video displays the remaster's improved graphics, lighting, models, environments, effects, textures and shaders. The remaster's multiplayer mode was revealed during the Call of Duty: XP 2016 convention. Attendees of the convention were able to play the multiplayer first with others.

The remaster received positive reviews from critics, who heavily praised the improved graphics, sound and range of improvements from the original game, to the point that a number of reviewers found it more akin to a remake. However, a few minor design choices from the original were criticized for feeling dated, particularly those used in the multiplayer. On Metacritic, the PlayStation 4 version holds an aggregated score of 83/100, based on 26 critic reviews, and the Xbox One version a score of 89, based on six reviews. Push Square gave the game a 9/10, praising its graphical enhancements and calling it a "ridiculously faithful remake" that apart from showing some slight signs of age, remained "thoroughly impressive even today". Metro gave a score of 8/10, praising the game as an "excellent" and "carefully crafted" remaster". Kevin Dunsmore of Hardcore Gamer, gave a score of 3.5/5, noting that while the game felt fresh and had been given a "stunning overhaul", he felt that in keeping with Modern Warfare's formula "the flaws from 2007 are clearly visible" and noted that "Raven Software may have stuck to the original a little too much".
